Some of the challenges VoIP can face are available bandwidth, delay in network frequency, jitter, echo, security and even reliability. Bandwidth works like a filter or a communication channel. This communication channel can be shared therefore availability could be interrupted. The network frequency could only have a short range in your area causing a delay, or the person you are communicating with could have a problem with their network which would delay the whole conversation. Jitter is an unwanted variation of one or more signal characteristics in electronics and telecommunications, but it highly common. Jitter can be distinct and recognizable if it shows successive pulses/amplitude, frequency, or a phase of successive cycles. Echo is common with video communication on VoIP. This could be a malfunction in the microphones on either end or another network frequency shortage.

As innovation in technology expands, the people living in this world will want and need to expand their minds. Technology has a window of opportunities lying within the internet. It is the revolutionary technology of our time. Relationships can be built, maintained and benefited over and through the power of the internet. Voice-over Internet Protocol has serviced other programs like Skype and with an increase in success, there will be an increase in revenue. Families and friends will travel the world knowing they can communicate at a fair rate. Airfare will benefit from an increase in traveling. Hotels with Wi-Fi and Voice-over IP protocols will see an increase in consumers. Neighboring businesses with deals overseas with be able to close a transaction with one phone call or one video conference. The world is connected.
